    In need of some info/advice on a mild performance 440 built

    Be aware the aftermarket rods do not oil the opposite wrist pins through the rod at the cap joint like the original rods. The one bearing half may need a small notch filed it to oil in the original rods as well. The aftermarket will be narrower and rely on splash to oil the wrist pins. They are...

    SRP Chrysler 400/440 Wedge Flat Top Pistons 213455 SRP-213455 + .030"/4.35' bore. They have 1/16th in. compression ring grooves, so you will likely need rings. Comp height 2.062"/ deck height .015" Valve reliefs 6cc compression ratio with .039" gasket - 90cc chambers 9.37:1...

    In need of some info/advice on a mild performance 440 built

    If it was mine, I'd buy a different set of pistons to get around 9.7:1 with .039" gaskets and your current heads which are likely 346s about 90cc open chambers. If it has been rebuilt and not run you can reuse your rings, but I would keep them in each designated cylinder if they were file fit...

    440 stealth heads

    I bought 2 pair of these heads from them and the pushrods did have to be clearanced. Also replaced the springs, retainers and locks for the guy that I sold one pair to. Supposedly the valves were decent, but I have heard some people had issues where the valves would break off at the lock...

    440 Dual Quad or Max Wedge?

    The Edelbrock RPM intake will clear the hood with lower profile air cleaners and work well with a stock to well built 440. The Victor is much taller and would completely turn your low end and mid range torque to $hit on a stock 440 and still is bad for low to mid range on a well built 440. Even...

    440 Dual Quad or Max Wedge?

    CM27K7 - 350 hp CM27L7 - 375 Also the boss under your plug wires at the front of the valley will be stamped 440 HP if it is the L code 375 horse TNT. The exhaust manifolds would also be different. This is assuming that the engine and manifolds are still original to the car. The vast majority...

    Well, this is bad.

    Yes, you are at the rear of the car... :)

    Aluminum Cylinder Heads

    Just want to point out a couple members stated that the Stealth heads were the only aluminum heads with the straight plugs, however the Mopar heads use the straight plug also. If the morons hadn't jacked the price nearly 200% I would recommend them. I myself would do as 70BBD recommended and do...

    8 3/4" third members

    You can put a limited slip carrier in your 742 with a new ring gear and pinion, or you can get a complete drop out/third member already set up. You should have the big yolk on your car if it is original which I'm sure it is. If you get a 489 drop out, get it set up with the correct yolk on...

    Hemi Fury

    I see what I have to assume is a voltmeter in the dash and power window switches moved to the console like a 300 F, G etc.

    What carb for my 440?

    Take the top off your carb and put an accelerator pump piston/seal in it. If you are careful the original gasket will survive. If you had the 4160 Holley I would be pushing you toward the new AVS.

    My 440 Build

    It will be a 727 thing, no designation big or small block. There were 11" and 12" factory converters, but every C-body with a B or RB engine I have seen came out with a 12". I would recommend about a 2500 stall in an 11" and under normal driving you will never tell a difference from a stock...

    Looking for a 440

    The '68 & '69 440s had taller pistons and the compression ratio was 10.1 to 1; the '70 added some deck clearance/shorter pistons that dropped the compression ratio to 9.7 to 1. All the B & RB engines in '68 would have had the 906 castings.

    Performer RPM won't clear a/c bracket

    This one clears because I cut the web on the intake.

    Sometimes I just wanna cry...

    727s are the "Bunny slope" transmissions to rebuild. I would keep your original trans as it is likely numbers matching, plus the 440 trans had a 4 gear planetary vs. the standard 3. I would shop around for someone that is familiar with them and they should be able to build it for you for...

    Sometimes I just wanna cry...

    I have also had the reverse servo pistons break. The older 727s tend to hit reverse hard, even at a lower idle. I drill and tap the inlet port in the case to install a drilled plug to reduce the sudden volume of fluid. You still have full pressure, it just lessens the abrupt slam when you...
